Arni,
While I appreciate you taking the survey, you have to understand that I have to focus on the area of the world in which I am studying and live. While there are about five to ten questions that might be US-centric, the remainder of the survey centers around infection control and the other tattooing processes, which should be universally known in the tattooing community.
There is unfortunately no worldwide standard for tattooing, so it would be impossible to tailor a survey for everyone. Again, I appreciate your comments, but at the same time I have taken the content from other surveys that have been given in two different continents. Additionally it was reviewed by a few tattoo artists in the US to ensure that the content applies to the tattooing community as a whole. I have the survey broken down into different subject areas, so it will be easy to see if there are matters that are US specific, and I will consider those when calculating the results.
Thanks again,
PK
